A symposium panel (TDRI energy policy adviser) said the draft PDP 2026 raises clean power share, but private buyers still cannot price direct clean-power purchases (Direct PPA) because the grid fee, Balance Charge, has not been set. Without that cost figure, firms cannot sign supply contracts or budget for clean electricity. Panel also flagged grid readiness and SME access to finance as bottlenecks. For a Thai SME this is not a decision point yet: keep tracking the Balance Charge ruling and the PDP 2026 final draft before committing to green power contracts.
